As part of their bankruptcy legal proceedings Celsius published a 14,000-page document detailing every user's full name, linked to timestamp & amount of each deposit/withdrawal/liquidation.

This is a horrific and unprecedented breach of privacy.

This list is online in an unprotected PDF form and anyone can search it or even download it.

Nosy neighbour? Spouse? Employer? Crypto scammers looking for targets? Blockchain analysis firms that can now put a name on self custody wallets? You name it.

And yes, this is a public court document, but man, why didn't they redact part of the names? Why did they put this on the internet? Why didn't at the very least give a heads up? Did they even give a fu*k to do this properly?

This is probably one of the best examples of not your keys - not your coins. Not only will they steal your funds, they will also leak your information.

Edit:

  1. It is confirmed that this list includes EU customers, so my guess is that's a global list.
  2. The wife of former-CEO Alex Mashinsky was shown to have withdrawn $2 million in crypto on May 31. They stopped withdrawals 13 days later.
  3. Many users in the comments have pointed out that this is standard procedure for Chapter 11 and that Celsius lawyers tried to avoid it but was rejected by a judge. For me, this remains a cautionary tale that not only can you lose your coin but also your private information. Why didn't Celsius notify us about this beforehand and couldn't they have taken a different legal route all together?
